I use a natillus-script to accomplish creating a text file:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Add a new text file in the current directory.
# If "New Document[ number].txt" already exists,
# then the [ number] is incremented until unique.

COUNT=1
if ! [ -a "./New Document.txt" ] ; then
touch "./New Document.txt"
else
while ! [ "$retry" ] ; do
let $((COUNT++))
if ! [ -a "./New Document ($COUNT).txt" ] ; then
touch "./New Document ($COUNT).txt"
retry=1
fi
done
fi
and one for gedit if needed:
#!/bin/bash

# Nautilus script -> oppen gedit

filesall=""
while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
files=`echo "$1" | sed 's/ /\?/g'`
filesall="$files $filesall"
shift
done
gedit $filesall&
